I want to take screenshots to the clipboard and paste them into a folder (different folders all the time so a default folder won't solve my issue)
I can paste them into emails and imessage but not folders.
Any idea of a way to do exactly this? *paste screenshot into folder*
Thanks

You can not paste to a folder, without saving the image first— therefore save to Desktop, then move to your preferred folder.

A folder is not a file—folders hold files; and email is a file, a message is a file.
Save the image and you can move it anywhere you want.
If you think this is "tedious" and should be different somehow then send Apple Feedback http://www.apple.com/feedback
a folder is not a file? No idea where this came from.
The way you think is fine:
take screenshot (auto save to folder) - navigate to screenshot saving folder - copy screenshot file - navigate to other folder - paste screenshot file
The way that seems far more logical
take screenshot to clipboard - navigate to folder - paste screenshot file
This works
take screenshot to clipboard - open new email - paste screenshot file into email
take screenshot to clipboard - open imessage - paste screenshot into message
This does not
take screenshot to clipboard - open folder - paste into folder.
Justify it all you want it doesn't make sense.
Thank you again for the quick response.
